Guards for a Cyclocross...

Just picked up a new bike (well new to me anyway)

2008 focus cross disc which will be the commuter, its fitted with 25mm marathon plus and has no eyelets for a guard or racks.

I don't use a rack so not bothered about that but what i do want is to fit some guards. Crudracers wont fit and am wondering if SKS raceblades will do the job.

thoughts? suggestions?

    I've got raceblades (I think) on my day one cross, they do a reasonable job

    Nope, the SKS raceblades are your best bet.
    As a mudguard Nazi having put up with full-length longboards, I'd go back to raceblades 'cos they're dead easy to take off and on. I never thought I'd hear myself say that :shock:
